RB; there is practically no external difference between the E3, E4 and E6. See articles in MRG on detailing a SAL E4 in the citrus scheme.

QUOTE: Originally posted by orsonroy QUOTE: Originally posted by nfmisso QUOTE: Originally posted by orsonroy NYC H-5 class 2-8-2: possibly the second most popular mike built after the USRA light. Several hundred were built before WWI and USRA control. The engine was used by the NYC, NKP, CCC&StL, P&E, MC, Georgia RR, and at least three other shortlines in the south, making the engine worthwhile for any manufacturer to produce (there were more of the H-5's made than any USRA engine besides the light mikes). Hi Ray; Hasn't this been announced by Trix ? Hi Nigel, Don't I wish! Trix has announced yet another USRA light Mike, which was the H-6 and H-9 series on the NYC (and H-6 on the NKP). For it's $500 sticker price, I can get two Oriental Powerhouse USRA Lights, or five Athearn Genesis Mikes, or three BLI USRA heavies, all of which should be better overall than the Trix engine, which is designed for the Euro collector's market, and will probably have some interesting European interpretations of what an American steam engine should look like.....
